Again, this is a PCI error, not a disk error. I think the OP never did 
specify the CPU & motherboard? There have been hard to track down AMD 
IOMMU issues with symptoms like this, I'd pursue that long before I'd 
run disk scans.

I agree - probably not a disk error - though it never hurts to check 
one's drives every once in a while.

What makes you think it's a PCI error?  A quick google shows that this 
particular error has been associated with various configuration issues & 
driver bugs - particularly related to NVIDIA cards. Perhaps a pointer to 
the documentation on the specific driver reporting the error?  
(Personally "page fault" could well just indicate normal swapping 
behavior under load.)

I can think of a very long list of things that are good to do or can't 
hurt on a debian system. Enumerating them in response to a question when 
they're unlikely to address the issue seems like a distraction at best.
